HR1 Oscar Bait or a Total Miss? Andy Peth Breaks Down This Week’s Movies. 12-26-25

Friday means 5-Star Movie Reviews, and Andy Peth doesn’t pull any punches. Joined by co-hosts Luke and Ashley, Andy dives deep into two very different films—asking the question every moviegoer wants answered: Is this worth my time? Andy opens with Marty Supreme, a performance-driven drama anchored by Timothée Chalamet. While Andy praises Chalamet’s acting as elite—possibly among the year’s best—he calls the film exhausting, overly long, and emotionally draining. His verdict? 2.5 stars overall, with a strong performance buried inside a movie many viewers may find frustrating or boring. Is great acting enough if you don’t enjoy the story? Next up is Anaconda, a comedic adventure starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black. Andy appreciates the cast, the shorter runtime, and a handful of funny moments—but says the script, humor, and pacing fall short. His final score: 1.5 stars for quality, calling it watchable but forgettable. Which movie divides audiences the most? Which one sounds like a total miss—or a guilty curiosity? Andy breaks it down so you don’t waste your movie night.

In Hour 2 of Rush To Reason, Andy, with Luke and Ashley, dives headfirst into a fast, funny, and opinionated tour of favorite comedy movies spanning generations and styles. Andy celebrates razor-sharp deadpan and parody with classics like The Naked Gun 2½ and Airplane!, praising Leslie Nielsen’s unmatched delivery. The conversation shifts from endlessly quotable cult hits like Super Troopers to genre-bending laughs in Deadpool and mockumentary brilliance in This Is Spinal Tap. Andy also highlights broad, over-the-top comedy with Austin Powers, animated favorites like The Lego Batman Movie and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and unforgettable physical comedy from Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. No star ratings are handed out this hour—but strong opinions absolutely are. Do “dumb” comedies require real genius? Are smart comedies actually harder to pull off? If movies you quote for life matter to you, this hour is pure fun, packed with laughs, nostalgia, and spirited debate.
